    Alain Matthes submitted an update to the

    tkz-elements

    package.

    Version number: 5.04c 2026-03-11
    License type: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    ## [2026/03/11 rCo version 5.04c]

    ### Added

    - **triangle**
    - Added new attributes: `ma`, `mb`, `mc`, `ha`, `hb`, `hc`, `ia`, `ib`, `ic`
    - `ma`, `mb`, `mc`: midpoints of the sides
    - `ha`, `hb`, `hc`: feet of the altitudes
    - `ia`, `ib`, `ic`: feet of the internal angle bisectors

    - Added method: `triangle:reflections(pt)`

    ### Changed

    - **triangle**
    - Renamed method: `projection(pt)` -> `projections(pt)`

    ### Notes
    - **triangle**
    - `projections(pt)` and `reflections(pt)` apply to an arbitrary point.
    - `projection()` and `reflection()` apply to the triangle vertices.

    package.

    Version: 5.06c 2026-04-11
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Changed
    - triangle
    - Changed the order of returned points for `reflections`
    and `projections`: (1 raA pa, 2 raA pb, 3 raA pc).
    - Added methods returning directly the vertices of special
    triangles:
    - `orthic_points()`
    - `medial_points()`
    - `tangential_points()`
    - circle
    - Modification of the `point` method.
    Added an optional point parameter to specify the
    reference point on the circle.

    Documentation
    - Reorganized the method descriptions in the **point** class,
    especially for utility methods and the `rotation` method.
    - Fixed an incorrect example of the `PPP` method in the
    **point** class.
    - Section 16.4.1 (Parabola construction):
    corrected `bisector of angle HMF` (instead of `angle HFT`).
    - Section 7.3 (Use of Trilinear Coordinates):
    corrected `projection` raA `projections` in the code.
    Thanks to :SwiftWu for these remarks.
    - Added documentation for the `print` method.
